i’m surprised y’all hate the idea that the liberal republic formed after the defeat of the empire eventually begets more fascism, like the first order was a cash grab but it’s also accidentally the most leftist turn star wars could have taken with the sequels, especially with all of the secondary media like rogue one/andor showing that all of the principled ancoms like saw gerrera were killed, leaving mon mothma and a monarch to lead the alliance lmao
